#popular music jokes

I never see people actually holding space for the lyrics of Popular because yes, it’s fun song, it’s a flirty song, it’s a silly goofy Gelphie song, but it is also Glinda very explicitly laying out exactly what her vulnerabilities are, how her world view has been severely skewed, and basically saying “this is exactly how I can be manipulated into doing things against my own wants and wellbeing and against the greater good of others” and it very clearly explains her actions for the rest of the musical
#I’m sorry I started this with a holding space joke but I’m serious about how important popular is#glinda upland#wicked#wicked spoilers#wicked movie#wicked musical#wicked part one

The real reason ART seems to still harbor some resentment or skepticism at Tarik after a whole year of Being Its Crew is not because of the whole being an ex-corporate-military-death-squad thing. That's fine, that's past, that didn't happen on ART. What did happen on ART was that Tarik once played an old song they used to sing during downtime in the Corporate Death Military and ART was so offended that it still hasn't forgiven him.
#the song is 'Rocket Rider's Prayer' btw#the entire joke of it is that the singers are in a spaceship of dubious trustworthiness built by the lowest bidder#and they are desperately praying to all the gods to not burn up in orbit#ART did not like that#ART especially did not like how many of its crew found the song funny#The Murderbot Diaries#filk#System Collapse spoilers#one of my favorite ongoing jokes are 'filk songs are just normal popular folk music in The Spacefuture'

everyone is always saying modern au will would listen to this or that artist who is not in his usual genre just because he would relate to the lyrics and this is of course not at all how music taste works but if it was will would actually listen to midwest emo. because every song is about how much your shitty hometown fucking sucks
#JOKEEEEEE THIS IS A JOKEEEE#but if it wasn't it would be more valid than. other statements. bc midwest emo is considerably closer to will's genres of choice#than. other popular music taste headcanon choices#if we WEREN'T considering genre at all though. will blasting noah kahan cause well dammit#it sure does feel like he's gonna die in the house he grew up in#again joking i don't think he'd listen to noah kahan. it sure would be relatable to him though#I'm in the business of losing your interest and I turn a profit each time that we speak....#stranger things#will byers#byler#<- cause every will post is a byler post inherently

saw a post where someone implied that someone else had at some point said “mcr fans heads would explode if they listened to nine inch nails” and that made me finally listen to nine inch nails cuz i was like yo for real? i want my head to explode! and i must say my head remained very unexploded. kind of disappointed like i was excited! like oh u think NIN is so intense that my poor baby mcr brain could hardly handle it? hell yeah let’s go! and then it’s like. some shit bill and ted would listen to (not an insult) idk maybe i didn’t listen to any of the right songs. can someone tell me which nin songs will make my mcr fan head explode?
#like don’t get me wrong it’s really good music#i like it a lot#but compared to mcr it is literally less head explosion inducing if u ask me#i suppose the joke here is that they’re both extremely popular bands because the both make generally palatable music to most audiences#no one’s head is exploding anywhere. it’s just popular music

#this was inspired by the 60s Tumblr post#if there’s a lack of 80s slang I apologize I’m just making shit up and tying modern Tumblrina culture to this#I’ll make more if you want me too cause this was fun#idk if it’s funny but hey at least I tried#my apologies if these jokes are shit#this also has more my music taste than popular 80s stuff cause frankly I had funny ideas for 80s alt land#dashboard meme#fake tumblr dash#1980s tumblr#emily shitposts#edit adding a tag cause i didn’t know how to tag this the first time#unreality#<-guess this is the tag for this type of post so apologies for not adding this the first time

We need a Total Drama character who is a musicals fan (Hamilton, DEH, Six, etc etc) and can be seen or heard singing a random song from a musical at any random time of the day <3
.
#anon I love this idea but we also need them to be at odds with someone who likes Shakespeare#''you only like modern popular musicals-'' ''WILLY SHAKES WRITES DICK JOKES SIT DOWN''#anonymous#total drama#total drama island

The early music people got hands 😳 I'm going down a wiki hole so at least I am learning hehehehe why those 14th C popes so boring, one note at a time???? YAWN
I mean 14th century is late or arguably the end of the medieval era so non monophonic forms had existed for a whiiile by then. They existed during most of the medieval period but were (as people have obviously come strongly into my mentions about) debatably “prominent” but just not prominent in the church bc they thought triads were of the devil. But they had organum and shit
#but ars nova and guillaume de machaut were doing secular stuff that was non monophonic#anyways when you use subjective terms people are going to argue about it#regardless the point of the joke is that so called ‘medieval versions’ of music is not actually medieval#even if non monophony was prominent it wasn’t prominent like that#but the developments of non monophony during the medieval era are what led to the popularization of madrigals that was so characteristic#of the renaissance period#I answer

Legacy. What is a legacy

#my most popular post is a joke about how máté kamarás unreleased is a cursed album AND PEOPLE TOOK IT SERIOUSLY#so many ppl tagging it 'to listen' as if its not unavailable online AND sold out on soundofmusic (because i bought the last copy /hj) oaslfd#i wish it was purchasable tho so he couldve made bank on his uh. efforts#🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣#then again... this is probably already like the 2nd most popular máté kamarás original music ad of all timr#the future documentation presentation video wins ofc#máté kamarás#😭💀#actors#music

Life is so hard for me as a queer person who is not interested in ch*ppell r*an for just very normal not deranged reasons, because if people ask and I say "no I don't really like her" then I am running the very high risk of being perceived as either a lesbian hater or one of those online freaks who thinks she "doesn't deserve fame" because she doesn't want literal stalkers at her door, but if I say yes then I will have to sit through her entire discography at every function 😮💨
#personal#the tone of this is a joke but the sentiment is kinda genuine#god she is such a crazy talented singer#her voice is so so fucking good she is divine#and what she is doing for the queer community and specifically lesbians#the way shes bringing so much positive representation into the forefront of popular media#and the way shes shining such a bright light on drag as an artform - especially at a time when so many people are calling it depraved#and predatory#shes doing wonderful amazing things for the queer community and for women in music#i just simply dont like the style of music she makes#and i am not interested in her individual personality (as it does NOT specifically relate to lesbianism) from what ive seen in interviews#but this is all in a normal healthy 'oh that artist just isnt my cup of tea' sort of way but that cant exist rn#aside from this one post lamenting about my plight i dont bring my dislike up where it is undue#i dont go around commenting on posts about her telling people who are clearly enjoying her work how wrong they are#but she is a very hot topic especially among almost every single human being i know#because almost every single human being i know is queer#so she does come up in conversation a lot around me and i have to weigh my input carefully

i cannot believe that the thing that finally made my high school stalker finally leave me alone (mostly) and move onto other victims was me breaking out into fucking song at him and several other girls joining me in the high school hallway…
shoutout to the power of taylor swift and sisterhood, i guess?
#it was We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together specifically#my life is a fucking joke#i don’t normally pull a musical number but threatening to skin him alive wasn’t working#and he thought of me as his ‘ex’ because we ‘dated’ for like 2 weeks#so the popular song of the moment was appropriate enough 😭

#i joke about it and all but like. i cannot emphasize enough what an impact it had on me to be uhhhhhb#micro-institutionalized in the way that i was for the first 14 years if my life#and i am honestly going to count the time i soent in ''elementary'' school bc it wasn't a normal school. it was a charter school#that began as a parent organized alternative and swiftly devolved into an authoritarian nightmare#a bunch of people who were simply not ready to educate children let alone ''problem'' children#of which there were MANY because that school got all the kids who had been turned out of public school for behavioral issues#there were hardline rules about literally everything. normal childhood behavior was pathologized and punished and as a kid#you had no way to understand WHY#and so many of your peers were having problems because ofc those ''problem'' kids were typically severely traumatized#or were actively being abused#so even if it wasn't happening TO you you were being exposed to it in a hundred little ways every day#so i was confused and miserable all the time AND was struggling academically bc i had undiagnosed adhd#(or possibly just trauma?? i honestly neither know nor care which came first at this point)#so my mom pulled me and my brother out. him at 11 and me at 6 and said ''i'll just do it myself'' and#raised us in a way that wasn't religious but resembled evangelical or lds stuff#i couldn't watch commercial tv or listen to popular music bc my parents didn't want me exposed to what they considered inappropriate#and while i still had extracurriculars i was always the odd one out bc i had no exposure to pop culture or normal socialization#for my age group#it resulted in me always feeling alone and like i didn't belong. and since most of my social life was my parents and their friends#that was the perfect soup for adultification#i was fine with adults. put me with my peers and i was a mess#it made the transition to high school incredibly difficult but i DID make it#but that was only 4 years still in an institution. everything began to unravel once i tried to move into anything resembling ''real life''#and then my dad's suicide which was a major trauma in early adulthood which only made my mom's grip on us tighten#i did get to START life until 26. not really. and it's just been a game of catch up for the last 5 years#and im so *angry* at the unfairness of it all. at the time and experience and milestones that were taken from me. at how i blamed myself#for it for so many years and the problems i developed because of it all. dissociation and substance abuse and suicidality#the fear that still has a death grip on me#the courage required to just exist#it's *exhausting*

my friend always (jokingly) makes fun of my taste in music because i "only listen to music that no one else has ever heard of" but like. i need you to understand. mobo, mom jeans, tfb, etc. are pretty well known. bikini kill, the clash, bratmobile. also very well known. like. maybe different genres than what youre into. but im not like. living under a rock...
#some of the other bands i like might be a little less known#but these are some of my faves and they are by NO means 'under ground'#not my fault you exclusively listen to top 100 hits girl idk#post posting#all jokes obviously she knwos im kidding when i make fun of her like this#but then i also listen to like noah kahan??? definitley very popular#and i like chappell roan too??#im always the butt of music jokes but i dont even listen to anything that far out there 😭#aside from like bands my friends are in but that doesnt really count??#idk its just funny#im sitting there while shes cracking jokes about my 'weird' music taste#just cause its bands she personally has never heard of
